A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a wire loop. If the loop accelerates in the direction of the field, will a current be induced in the loop? Explain why or why not.

    Explanation:

    If the coil is accelerated parallel to the magnetic field, it means also that the force on the coil acts parallel to the field. For current to be induced in a coil, a basic condition must be met which is that the directions of force (acceleration) and the magnetic field must be perpendicular to each other. This brings about current being induced in a direction perpendicular to bothering the directions of the force acting on the coil and the that of the magnetic field. This current would flow through the coil in either a clockwise or anticlockwise manner.

    Since the coil is accelerated parallel to the magnetic field, no current is induced in it.
